9 out of 10 people still have no idea why they lose their mind when their partner cheats…
/Contrary to popular 'belief confusion' - relationship cheating is NOT the act of doing something that your partner doesn't agree with, NOR is it the act of doing something that your partner doesn't want you to do. It is actually that act of betrayal, which essentially looks like this:
- Breaking an agreement that you have made.
- NOT being truthful about your intention to do so.
- NOT disclosing that intention prior to doing so.
- Not revealing that you have done so.
That's why we call it Cheating; because you are doing something that you declared you would NOT do, without disclosing your intention prior to doing so and then, keeping it a secret from the person you entered into the agreement with.
In practical reality, you are breaching a trust !!
So technically speaking, if, you secretly went to the football on the weekend despite your commitment to NEVER do so, you would in point of fact, be breaching that trust and the consequences (should you be found out) would be entirely severe. BUT In practical reality, while your partner might be cross with you about it, he or she would (typically-speaking) not take it too seriously, despite it being the very ESSENCE of a betrayal - as per our definition.
Moreover, even if you declared your intention to get to a match on the weekend (in spite of your agreement) and indeed, in spite of your partner's preferences, said partner might still be pretty damn cross and proceed to remind you - that when you entered into the relationship, you declared that you would NOT attend any football matches. BUT as we know, said partner would still be a VERY LONG WAY from invoking separation or divorce proceedings.
Interestingly, according to the 'definition' of cheating and the principles being breached here, in such a case, your partner SHOULD (in point of fact) become violently angry and proceed with standard 'war path' type behaviour that is typically associated with cheating in relationships.
So why DOESN'T this actually happen in the case of cheating as described - BUT DOES happen in the case where cheating involves intimate relations with other people?
ANSWER: BECAUSE 'CHEATING' per se - ISN'T ACTUALLY - THE PROBLEM !!!
The critical distinction raised here - raises a very important question about our morality in the context of our way of being principles and key questions that we should be asking ourselves include:
- Why do we declare our exclusivity in relationships?
- When do we declare this exclusivity?
- How do we actually declare it? In what moment exactly?
- Would we be in a relationship if we didn't declare it?
- Could we not declare it at all, or indeed, declare something else?
- Why do we respond irrationally and sometimes even violently on the issue of sex and intimacy occurring outside the relationship and not so much on the issue of attending the football - in spite of the VERY SAME PRINCIPLES being breached?
- What happens inside of us that manifests as a Derailing Emotional Roller Coaster?
To properly answer these questions, AND determine where the actual problem lies, you MUST discover everything about YOU that prevents you (without actually realising it) from acquiring REAL Emotional Freedom.
- Q. What is Real Emotional Freedom ??
- A. It is a way of life that is free from fictional, illogical, unreasonable, irrational, counterproductive or destructive behavioural constraints.
But to acquire this education and accept what is actually going on in your mind when you feel that you have been betrayed in this specific way, and to accept who WHO are being and WHY you a being this cliche behavioural response, you will have some very tricky work to do. Work that requires some deep personal confrontations with yourself - and THAT - my friend and my enemy, is where the proverbial 'Way of Life Education Rubber' will hit the road for you.
You should know that most people will NEVER make to the finish line. They will prefer to remain conventional and quite ordinary in this regard, never realising that this personal challenge - is actually where the power to CHOOSE the direction of your life emerges.
But those that do, will go on to live the life that they CHOOSE - Forever & Always.
